As mentioned in the post re the new term, please ensure that you have the following software downloaded and installed BEFORE coming in, otherwise we'll get nothing done and will flood the wifi at the college all downloading at same time. In addition we want offline copies of software as much as possible again to avoid flooding the wifi connection:-
1) Notepad ++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.9.html 2) Last version of Scratch http://scratch.mit.edu/scratch2download/ 3) Android Studio Beta v0.8.6 https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html 4) Chrome web browser https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?hl=en 5) Python https://www.python.org/downloads/ Also Scratch and Android Studio provide a wide range of online tutorials and projects, please save these to your local machine SAVE AS TYPE -> Web Page Complete, for easy access in the group. Finally Android Studio needs Java Development Kit (JDK) to work. Once you have it downloaded, try and open it, if you're getting an error it's probably that you have an incompatible version of java installed (e.g. needs 64 bit), or maybe that the environmental variables need setting. You can get Java JDK 7 at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html Don't worry if you can't get it working, we can help you in the group. If you don't know whether your PC is 32 or 64 bit
